The matter of accent is interesting, and more complex than might be initially understood. - (Beasts of Gor, Chapter 9, Sentence #203)

There was still something about them which, to a discerning eye, betrayed their intricate, constricted Earth origin. Later, if they had the proper master or series of masters, it would no longer be possible to do this by sight. They would be betrayed then, usually, only by their accent. The matter of accent is interesting, and more complex than might be initially understood. When a girl is taught Gorean, particularly in a slaver's house, the Gorean she is taught will often contain certain subtleties of pronunciation of which she is likely to be unaware. Thus, after a year or two, a girl who now speaks a beautiful, fluent Gorean, one for most practical purposes indistinguishable from that of a native Gorean, is still likely, inadvertently, unbeknownst to herself, perhaps in so little as the shading of a phoneme, to reveal her Earth origin. This is independent, of course, of the sort of slave training which, in its sensuousness and femininity, becomes a part of a girl's very being, affecting her attitudes, movements, carriage, body language, and such. - (Beasts of Gor)
